Dargin languages
Dialect continuum of Northeast Caucasian languages / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dargin languages consist of a dialect continuum of Northeast Caucasian languages spoken by the Dargin people in southcentral Dagestan. Kajtak, Kubachi, Itsari, and Chirag are often considered dialects of the same Dargin/Dargwa language. Ethnologue lists these under a common Dargin language, but also states that these may be separate languages from Dargwa proper.[1]
